地理資訊系統的日益發展，若能好好加以運用，透過地圖平臺查詢顯示過去甚至到最近的傳染病通報數和死亡數，可藉此了解某些地區的疫情嚴重的原因，而疾病跟地區的位置或環境又有什麼影響，這將利於民眾或是學者做研究及預防。目前的地圖平臺種類多元、功能繁瑣複雜，本研究決定建置疾病查詢系統，以Google Maps與Highmaps兩種平臺進行建置，藉此比較兩者優缺點及差異。研究結果發現，如果應用的需求是在於地理座標的定位或是查詢詳細地理位置資訊，就必須使用Google Maps才能夠達成，例如想要標示傳染病個案的居住地址在地圖座標上的詳細位置。而Highmaps可以將傳染病的歷史資料，結合各式統計圖表多樣化的呈現，在資料的分析上較具有優勢，未來期盼能夠將此兩種地圖平臺之優點做結合，成為一個使用上更方便、更具彈性，且有圖表功能的專業地圖資訊平臺。

According to the development of the geographic information system, if we can wisely use the map platform searching for the number of communications and death of infectious diseases from the past to the present, understanding why the epidemic situation was so serious in certain areas and how the environment of diseases and areas affects them, it would be favorable for the public or scholars to do research and prevention. So far, the types of map platforms are multivariant and functions are complicated. We decided to establish a disease searching system based on Google Maps and Highmaps in order to compare the pros, cons and differences of these two platforms. From the results of the experiment, if the geographical coordinates of the location or query detailed location information such as mark the residential address for infectious disease cases, we must use Google Maps to be able to reach. On the other hand, Highmaps has more advantages on combining many types of statistical charts for analysis of infectious disease historical data. In the future, we hope it is possible to combine the advantages of these two map platforms into a professional map information platform that is user-friendly, more flexible, and has charting features.
